NGO rescues suicide victims' kin

An NGO has come to the aid of 18 families of farmers who committed suicide last year in the district.
The Maharashtra Institute of Technology Transfer for Rural Areas (MITTRA) is providing all agricultural related help to the family members in such cases for two years, so that they may get the much-needed support to stand up on their own feet again.
The Nashik-based organisation had approached 38 of the 52 families of farmers who ended their lives, as recognised by the district administration. Among them, 18 families came forward to take assistance from the NGO.
Kickstarting their campaign to help families of farmers who committed suicide to sustain themselves, MITTRA reached out to the families of the farmers whose deaths have been acknowledged by the district administration as 'farmer suicide' and provided them with the plan of carrying out plantation, providing required fertilizers, insecticides and the technical know-how for the two years.
